Title: Coastguard EI-GCE
Post by: vortex003 on November 17, 2008, 12:25:41 PM

Caught another of the Irish Coastguard S61s' this morning after a brief stop at EGAB.
Weather was poor so the pic isn't great :(

It's a Sikorsky S-61N.
Seems to be covering for Sligo based EI-CXS,which may be undergoing maintenance?
It was using callsign 'Rescue 118' - which is EI-CXS callsign when on SAR missions.
